Plugin writing issue.

Hi,

I recently start working on rails. I am writing a plugin for redmine,
right now I am in the start phase. I successfully got the menu display
as "custom reports" but problem starts when I click the cutom reports
menu. The error generated is:

"The page you were trying to access doesn't exist or has been removed."

mongrel (1.1.5)
mongrel_cluster (1.0.5)
mysql (2.7)
rails (2.2.2)
rake (0.8.4)

redmine 0.8.0

where as I have not much code in controller.

Controller.

def index
render :text => 'hello'
end

even I tried

def index
render :template => 'reports/index'
end

In index.rhtml
<h2>Hi from index</h2>

In init.rb I have

require 'redmine'

Redmine::Plugin.register :redmine_reports do

permission :reports, {}, :require => :member
 menu :top_menu, :reports, { :controller => 'reports', :action =>
'index'},  :caption => 'Custom Reports'
end

In terminal where webrick server is running following error information
is available: (same in the log file)

Processing ReportsController#index (for 127.0.0.2 at 2009-05-19

I cant understand why it is redirected to find_project where as I didn't
use this action anywhere.

Please help me out

Thanks a lot.

The problem is in find_project method. See filter chains.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, you are right the problem is with find_project action. But, I am not calling this action then why its come into my way. As you see in my code very simple and to the point. Still googling to find solution. Can you elaborate, please.

Maybe you have line like

before_filter :find_project

in your controller?
See filter chains reference in Ruby On Rails documentation.

I am thankful for your prompt replies.

That's why I ask the question on the form here is my single controller code and you will find that I didn't use before_filter :find_project

Now I am stuck, not finding the way to get it resolved.

class ReportsController < ApplicationController

unloadable
 def index
    render :text => "Hello from index action" 
    return false
 end
end

Although I don't think that there is an issue within init.rb and routes.rb files.

Here is init.rb file:

require 'redmine'

Redmine::Plugin.register :redmine_reports do

permission :reports, {:reports => [:index}, :public => :true
  menu :top_menu, :reports, {:controller => 'reports', :action=>'index', :project_id=>nil}, :caption => 'Custom Reports'
end

Here is routes.rb file which contains the single line:

map.root :controller => 'reports', :action => 'index'

try

skip_before_filter :find_project

or see in Rails documentation how to manage action filters, how to get filter chain for method... Maybe they are inherited from something.
Attach archive with full code of your plugin and I will see what is wrong.

Thanks Andrew.

I already used the skip_before_filter. Right now I am going through the documentation you mentioned.

Please find the zip file containing the complete code.

redmine_reports.zip (22.9 KB) redmine_reports.zip

There already app\controllers\reports_controller.rb in Redmine, rename your controller to something uniq.
